[ Introduction ]
Where to start with this mishmash of gaming ideas? Hunt Showdown is a sudo-battle-royale style game, with PvE game play, hunting and a big dash of horror. I had no idea what i was getting in to when I started this one; it surprised me.

[ Sound ]
Sound effects are used well here. I recommend headphones to immerse the player in to the game world and to crank up the horror factor. From the simple splash in a puddle to the creaking and chattering of a spider. Each one has a high sound fidelity and feels as haunting and creepy as the next. The guns all sound fantastic, heavy and powerful, as they should. Even at a fair distance, it is possible to hear guns being shot and this ramps up the tension.

[ Conclusion ]
Overall Hunt Showdown has the potential to be something great, the base is there but I feel Crytek needs to support this title and fast. The mix of game types and the settings all make for something very interesting, but there is a massive lack of content. Hopefully, there will be some updates to add content soon.
I would consider holding off on this title, not for it being a bad game, it is far from it just wait for more content.
